Raspberry 'Continuity Collection'

Why settle for a short raspberry season when you can enjoy delicious, home-grown raspberries from mid-summer right through to autumn? The Raspberry Continuity Collection has been carefully put together to give you a succession of crops, combining floricane and primocane varieties so you can keep picking fresh, juicy berries for as long as possible.

Whether you love eating raspberries straight from the cane, adding them to summer desserts, enjoying them with breakfast or freezing a surplus for later, this collection gives you the opportunity to grow a generous supply of your own fruit throughout the season.

The collection includes Glen Ample, Cascade Delight and Joan J, giving you a combination of heavy cropping, excellent flavour, large fruits and an extended harvesting period.

Glen Ample is an outstanding floricane raspberry and a fantastic choice for getting the season underway. An exceptionally heavy cropper, it produces large, deliciously flavoured berries from around mid-July. The canes are spine-free, making picking considerably easier and more enjoyable, particularly when the plants are laden with fruit. Its combination of impressive yields, large berries and easy harvesting makes Glen Ample a superb choice for anyone looking to grow plenty of raspberries for the kitchen.

Following on from the early summer harvest, Cascade Delight helps maintain the continuity of your crop. This productive floricane variety produces lots of fruit each year when grown in a sunny position and rich, fertile soil. With the right growing conditions, it rewards you with an abundance of tasty berries, helping to bridge the gap between the earlier and later crops and ensuring there is plenty to pick during the height of summer.

Then, as the floricane varieties begin to finish, Joan J takes over to extend your raspberry season well into autumn. This excellent primocane variety fruits from late July through to October, producing a very high crop of large, juicy, sweet-tasting raspberries. Its long cropping period means you can continue returning to the garden for fresh fruit long after many summer raspberry varieties have finished producing.

Together, these three varieties create a long and productive raspberry season, giving you fresh fruit to enjoy from mid-July through to October. Rather than having a glut of berries over a short period, the Raspberry Continuity Collection is designed to provide a more continuous supply, making it ideal for gardeners who want to enjoy home-grown raspberries for longer.
